Yick Cheong Building was featured in Transformers: Age of Extinction and has been a hot spot for photographers. So much so that photos are banned both by signage and security.
I opted to go a 3 AM when everyone was sleeping and no one in their right mind would be photographing. The light was horrible but amazingly with a long exposure and shooting in raw how much is recoverable.
The title "Transformers" can be read in a number of ways. The two sculptures - The Ironmaster and The Coal Miner - were constructed from the leftovers of the steelworks at Consett, County Durham, which at one time was one of the largest producers of steel in Europe.
The 6 m high sculptures represent the industrial heritage of the region - steelmaking and coal mining. They can be found on the former Stanhope & Tyne railway line, built in 1834 to link the steelworks at Consett to the sea at Sunderland, which closed following the demolition of the steelworks in 1985.
The sculptures were commissioned by Northern Arts and Sustrans in 1990 as part of the development of the National Cycle Network. They were built by David Kemp and Tom Leaper in a former North Eastern Electricity Board yard at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear.
This image was taken from a scanned negative. The plaque on the ground below the sculptures reads:
"The men who lived here dug the black stone. In giant huts they burned earth turning it into iron. They turned the sky red. A river of steel ran down to the sea and was transformed again into locos, ships and machines which transformed the world."
I started working on this a few months ago but just recently finished it. I would have posted it sooner but I have been working on Guardians 2 figures.
I used the Kreo head and helmet, and sculpted the torso, shoulders wrists, and feet. It was then painted by me. I would have done an Autobot symbol on the chest but I didn't want to do it because it would have been too much and I like how it looks with out it.
Tell me what you think.
Yick Cheong Building, a public housing development in Quarry Bay. It might be made popular by a scene in Transformers Age Of Extinction..
Really love the colourful buildings.

An OD Transport Mack Titan, hauling a $3.6m, 147 tonne transformer on a 104-wheel trailer, prepares to reverse into the Magill power substation. With the trailer weighing 60 tonne, and the Mack Titans tipping the scales at 24 tonne each, the whole thing weighed over 250 tonne.

Otro Transformers más del lote con Metroplex. Al principio solo tenía la cabina, pero fui adquiriendo el cajón y el resto de piezas hasta que ya lo tengo practicamente completo, ya que solo faltan los puños del robot pequeño, que no me interesa conseguir.

Rediseño del Astrotrain de la G1. El robot está excelente, no tanto las formas alternas. El tren bala me deja mis dudas todavía.

Just got back from vacation to the Midwest, this is the Milwaukee Art Museum, located on the shores of Lake Michigan. Since the Milwaukee Lakefront faces East, this is a sunrise. (I hate waking up early). I was able to get some really great shots on my vacation, and they are very different from my typical images due to the different landscapes in the Midwest vs. the West Coast. This was the first morning, so I figured I would post this image first.
The Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Center was built in 2001 by famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and was also featured in the 2011 film: Transformers Dark of the Moon.
